In the end, Hengyuan rejected all suggestions to send troops on the grounds of stabilizing the internal situation first, and also ordered the senior generals to go back and verify whether any of their subordinates had collaborated with the enemy.
Hengyuan asked Zuo Rui to publicize the news about the Henglong Empire against the Hengxi Empire, which indeed caused a big stir. However, unexpectedly, the result did not develop in the direction that Hengyuan hoped for. Later, people pointed the arrow back and accused Hengyuan is not as brave as her mother and is afraid of war.
In fact, this was revealed from the mouths of the generals, because they had always wanted to send troops, and Heng Yuan had repeatedly opposed it. So this actually means that the generals who want war have to turn around and use people to coerce Hengyuan into sending troops.
In this way, Diao Si told Heng Yuan that in fact she didn't need to be nervous about this matter at all. It was a good thing that people had such thoughts. They really needed people to have such thoughts. This was also to prepare for future wars.
However, the matter continued to ferment, and just when Diao Si and Heng Yuan spent a lot of effort to deal with it, the latest news came from Ding Lei, saying that the Henglong Empire had always been targeting the Hengxi Empire, and that the Hengxi Empire was Yuan is ambitious to seize control in the south like this. She wants to wait for the three kingdoms to fight to the death before taking action.
This is a fact. Unexpectedly, the Henglong Empire still thought of it, because during this period of time, the three countries were actually consuming each other, and their military strength had declined. With the Hengxi Empire developing like this, of course they were wary.
Two days later, the three major powers actually formed a visiting team, entering the Hengxi Empire from the border of the Hengli Empire, intending to check the Hengxi Empire's military strength and verify whether the Henglong Empire's concerns were true.
It's something that's looming on the horizon again. Henglan's troops have been waiting there. Do you want to send troops immediately? In order to stabilize the morale of the military and better handle this crisis, Heng Yuan rushed over with Diao Si.
Of course, the Henglong Empire just wants the Hengxi Empire to use force, so that they can point the finger at the Hengxi Empire and successfully solve the predicament in front of them.
Through refraction magic and telescopes, Diao Si and Heng Yuan figured out that this time they sent only a small team with some food and other things, and probably a high-sounding excuse.
Therefore, the Hengxi Empire did not need and should not use this opportunity to send troops. Hengyuan first asked Henglan's troops to retreat to a nearby building, and then they only led a small team to greet them.
Hengyuan has already agreed with Diao Si and the others to greet these people properly and let them know that the Hengxi Empire has no ambitions for the Eternal Temple, so they will probably leave.
However, after the meeting, the situation was not as good as what Hengyuan and the others had planned. The generals from the Henglong Empire raised a lot of questions to Hengyuan. She wanted to put a big hat on the Hengxi Empire.
"I heard that your Hengxi Empire is very powerful now. It has mechanical transport vehicles that don't need to be pulled by humans, and there are also glowing mage lamps..."
Hengyuan listened and smiled lightly and responded: "There are transport trucks and glowing lights that make you come all the way here? These are all things they did when we turned the army into civilians. stuff."
"You turned the army into civilians? Who believes it? Your army was very powerful in your mother's time. If General Wushu hadn't killed her, maybe it would be your Hengxi Empire who is stationed in the Kaiyong Temple now. ”
The guy also mentioned Hengyuan's mother aggressively, which made Hengyuan a little uncontrollable and impulsive. Upon seeing this, Diao Si quickly showed her the way, and then took over:
"It's all gone forever. Since the death of the last emperor, we have no idea about the Eternal Temple anymore, especially our people here, they are tired of war..."
"Who is this little brother? I've never heard that you have a brother. He is..." The guy focused on Diao Si again, mainly because of the special equipment on his body.
Hengyuan wanted to say something to her, but Diao Si interrupted first and said: "Dear Ambassador of the Henglong Empire, I am the queen of Emperor Hengxi, and I am responsible for management work, because our country has more and more manpower. "No, so I have to help the Emperor."
"Yes, Mr. Ambassador, my mother told me before she died that in order for me to live and inherit the bloodline of the Eternal Royal Family, she hoped that we would no longer care about the Eternal Temple."
Hearing what Diao Si said, Hengyuan calmed down and also repeated some of her mother's words. In fact, these were not her mother's last words at all.
"A man as an official? It seems that the Hengxi Empire is not as ambitious as the rumors, right?" After hearing what Hengyuan said, the generals of the Hengyang Empire over there said so.
Hearing what the general of the Hengyang Empire said, the general of the Henglong Empire was still unwilling and continued to ask Hengyuan: "Then what are your plans for the future? Will you always develop here?"
"No, in fact we do have some plans for the future." What Diao Si said made Hengyuan nervous again. Although she trusted Diao Si, if she said something wrong here, the consequences would be very serious. serious.
Diao Si signaled to her, and then continued: "We know that someone will eventually take over the Eternal Temple, and the Nima Continent will eventually be unified, so we have been waiting for whoever becomes the Eternal Emperor. To whom should I surrender..."
Heng Yuan was relieved after hearing Diao Si's words, but the generals of the three powerful countries all looked at each other and did not say a word for a long time.
"By the way, the ambassador has had a hard time on his journey. Why don't you come and sit in our city?" Diao Si also went to the general of the Henglong Empire to invite her, obviously neglecting the other two countries.
"No, we have to rush back to report to the emperor. How about General Wu Mei stay here and check carefully." The general of the Hengyang Empire said unhappily.
Wu Mei from the Henglong Empire had already reacted after hearing this. She wanted to explain something but didn't know how to explain it. In desperation, she had no choice but to accuse Diao Si: "You must be ambitious, don't think we don't know... "
In response, Diao Si saluted her, and then responded: "I sincerely accept General Wu Mei's inspection. I also hope that General Wu Mei will say something good for the Hengxi Empire when he returns. We have been looking forward to the moment of reunification..."
Hearing that Diao Si had already acquiesced to the Henglong Empire as the country that would occupy the Eternal Temple in the future, the generals of the Hengyang Empire and the Hengli Empire were even more unhappy, and they all looked like they were going to leave in anger. .
Wu Mei didn't know what to say. Now Diao Si was indeed trying to please her, but the problem was that he only wanted to please her but not the other two countries.
At first, Wu Mei wanted to invite the generals of the two countries to continue to check the situation of the Hengxi Empire, but she was unable to convince the two unhappy generals, and finally had to go back with them.
Diao Si continued to pretend to send them gifts to ask for good words, which further deepened the conflict between the Henglong Empire and the other two countries, and also diluted the threat from the Hengxi Empire.
Seeing Diao Si send them back so smoothly and deepening the rift between them, Heng Yuan was even more happy. But when the senior generals learned the news, they were a little unhappy because they wanted war.
The reason why Diao Si was able to send the teams of these three powerful countries back in this way and make the Henglong Empire's conspiracy come to nothing was mainly because he had more information about the spy team Ding Lei.
Only then did Hengyuan understand the importance of Diao Si spending manpower and material resources on espionage activities. If they had not known that there were such contradictions within the enemy, they would have easily led to a war due to unfavorable handling.
I believe that if the Hengxi Empire cannot be found to be a threat this time, the Hengyang and Hengli Empire will definitely find a way to unite to deal with the Henglong Empire when they return. The war between these three powers is about to begin.
In response to the possible war caused by the three major powers, Hengyuan gave Diao Si another big task, which was to immediately increase efforts to produce weapons and equipment. Military construction became the central task, and all other construction was put on the sidelines.
In fact, Diao Si had already thought of it before Heng Yuan asked for it. Although he did not continue to produce guns and ammunition, he had been accumulating the raw materials for those ammunition. Now he could produce weapons in large quantities at any time.
It was almost done, and Diao Si was getting a little impatient with waiting. He also needed to complete the unification mission as soon as possible and then prepare for the war with the Demon Emperor. (To be continued)
